I'm with the OP on this one. Of course nobody likes to get ripped off but it's gonna happen to all of us at some point through law of averages. Whether $20 or $100, it's not worth putting yourself out over it and risking ending in court. UK - and I believe US - law is notorious for criminalising anyone who attempts to take any form of retribution, no matter how justified it may be.
And don't forget, this individual also has his victims' names and addresses as well as the other way round. No doubt Troop can look after himself in a fair fight, but do you really want to keep looking over your shoulder if this escalates? Not saying it would, but you never know with these things, and this guy obviously isn't playing with quite a full deck.
For what my advice is worth, I'd notify Paypal first. Doubtful you'd get any money back, but then, this isn't about that, and at least they'd be aware of his shady dealings for future reference. After that, why not just call the cops on him? Again, it may not do much good, but you never know what else they may turn up about the guy, and he may well think twice next time.
Of course this assumes that there really isn't an innocent explanation, though it's hard to imagine what that might be if he's still logging in here..
What seems odd is that he logs in...why would he do that? Wouldn't know he was online if he didn't. I guess they always return to the scene of the crime.
I think we should forgive him, showing him the good of the human being!
To prove that, I'm thinking about making him a present, I wish that all the friends of BLF would participate to the fundraising(decreasing$15for the refund-present quote of trooplewis)
That is the gift that I have in mind, I-m sure that after that, the lightwill not abandon himanymore 0:)

Hey Reflection, Seriously, I hope ripping off a nice guy for $22 makes you momentarily happy. You know the old saying, "What goes around, comes around". In the end, you will be the loser.
Reflection is not a crook and he is perfecly sane. He is conducting research about the way people react to internet fraud. If this guess of mine is correct, we all are just his lab rats.
Right now he is endeavoring to fit MixoMaxo's proposal into his statistic data.
gorann: You are painting with a mighty broad brush.
In one sentence you chastise for bringing politics into the forum, in the next you do it yourself. This thread is about thievery - I think we can all agree that is a universal human fault, regardless of country of origin.
